>> More about the Exhibition/Another Project Completed. [ Mailing List ]
Hi Everyone -
There are a few more days until the closing of the exhibition on June 20. My children are moving toward summer vacation and I've had a few opportunities to introduce my brother to their classmates' moms. They are enjoying Mino's writing ("The Living Earth: The World of the Aborigines" from the "Conversations": As you know you can find it on this website.)
One of them suggested to have an exhibition in New York....That's not a bad idea, isn't it?
Australian Embassy Website has a page about the Exhibition now.
I have another news to share. Unfortunately, I have not promptly notified by either an author or its translators, but I found out that a book that Mino had worked on its English translation has been published in the US. "Otaku: Japan's Database Animals" (Hiroki Azuma, Minnesota Press 2009)
I negotiated for the Mino's credit with the author a few years ago. Mr. Azuma and, Mr. Abel and Ms Kono, the translators, kindly mentioned Mino's name in Preface and Introduction. It explains that this translation project began with an e-mail from Mino in February 2003, suggesting the original Japanese version to be translated in English.
Mino worked with Julia Yonetani only on the first chapter and had to stop it due to his illness. As Mr. Azuma wrote, the final version of the translation belongs to the two translators, but I am very pleased to see an idea and a work that Mino started has been completed.
One more thing is done! :-)
I will have more things to share soon. Until then....
